We regret to inform you that the lioness Amber (dob 26 Jan 2004) has died. She had been suffering various health issues for many months, but despite on-going treatment her condition failed to improve. Amber was FIV positive and this may have suppressed her ability to cope with the health issues she had, as well as her ability to recover from them through treatment. A post mortem will be undertaken to try and identify specifics of her condition as well as gain a better understanding of the virus she carried.
